Zulu 2 Human Race

Umuntu is a human being or a person but I prefer a human being because it
has no gender, color, political affiliation, UN affiliation or class
label.It is like saying nature, instead
of saying trees, flowers, fruit, vegetables, rivers or mountains.

Human beings have one thing in common: they
are human.That entitles them to be
treated or to treat each other humanely.Does it make sense?Maybe
not.I will therefore use an example
from the olden days, when amaZulu lived on their land.

Travellers knocked on the nearest home,
when it became dark before they reached their destination.They were given food and shelter because they
were human beings.

Animals could not do that.“Hi! I’m Mr. Tiger. I was on my way to kill
some zebras but it got dark before I reached my prey.Can I crash here for the night?”The word umuntu,
should be seen in that context.
